Red Martinensis Carpet Anemone

About this invertebrate

Red Martinensis Carpet Anemone is an aquarium anemone (a cnidarian) commonly kept in reef tanks for its natural movement and display. As a carpet anemone type, it typically benefits from strong, stable aquarium conditions and adequate lighting, while also appreciating occasional meaty feedings. In practice, this makes it a showpiece in reef aquascapes where you can provide suitable light and flow and allow the anemone to settle comfortably on a stable surface.

Features:

• Carpet anemone style body that adds noticeable movement and presence to a reef tank
• Generally light-dependent, so it performs best when placed where it can receive adequate aquarium lighting
• Often appreciates moderate-to-strong water movement to help keep the surface clear and encourage feeding
• May accept meaty foods in addition to natural energy from its symbiotic relationship (group-level guidance)
• Helps create a dynamic “centerpiece” animal focal point once settled
• Best suited to tanks with stable conditions to reduce stress and promote long-term health (general guidance)

Specifications:

• Livestock type: Carpet anemone (marine cnidarian/invertebrate)
• Scientific name: UNVERIFIED
• Lighting (general guidance): Moderate to high light, placed where it can receive adequate illumination
• Water flow (general guidance): Moderate-to-strong, with enough current to keep the anemone surface clear
• Diet (general guidance): Often benefits from occasional meaty foods in addition to photosynthetic support
• Placement (general guidance): Provide a stable, low-competition area so it can attach and settle
